Digital Point Forums & The Change It Has Gone Through

    I joined digital point forums almost 2 years ago. I learned a lot and am very appreciative to have ever become a member. With that said I would like to state facts!

    1. The forum has almost completely been taken over by scammers and indians.
    2. The majority of the threads I read are garbage.
    3. It's very hard to find any really usefull information anymore.
    4. Shawn hardly ever posts.
    5. My PM inbox gets spam.
    6. Back in the day there were a lot of members who made since.
    7. i.e. to the post above, Shoemoney, Shawn and a lot of others who are from the game.

    I guess that's all I can say for now but I do have one question for Shawn. Why did you allow your forums to get like this? It used to be such a great place.

    I guess it is because they no longer had time to run the forum due to life changes. DP has changed a lot, although it has, there are still the good bunch of members who still help around. Wisdomtool is one I can just come up with off the top of my head.

    Good luck,
    Daniel ;)

    Huh, I've never even saw Wisdomtool here before. I searched the name and it does seem that they have quality posts.

    Was does "Wisdomtool" do?

    I kinda stopped hanging around when thinks got cluttered with crap.

    probably not a good idea to post "scammers and indians" in the same sentence.
    what your doing is singling out a specific group of people and slamming them and calling them scammers.

    if i was from India, i wouldn't be too happy reading that.

    Not sure how you can make a thread like you have when you just said that.

    wtf does that mean, it is what it is...

    you opened a big can of worms with that statement, i cannot imagine what would make you associate Indians with scammers. there all over the place, not just India.

    and now i'm just gonna sit back and watch.

    Yes those two are good members and I've done business with both. No disrespect against you guys or anyone else who is legit.

    This rep is just funny though.
    LMFAO! That's the kind of things I'm talking about.

    They can definitely afford it. The problem is they've decided to just hire whoever they like and let them do whatever they want and let the forum ride on autopilot, which is why it's in the shape it is now.

    Nah! It's day time @ India. Anyways, you guys are moving away from the topic. He's talking about the changes that DP has went through and you guys are talking about India & Indians.

    And yep! He shouldn't have combined 'scammers and Indians'. Not every Indian is a scammer and not every scammer is an Indian.

    Well most of top reputed members of DP are from India. You can see many scammers on DP. but most of them are non Indian people. You can't compare Indians with scammers.
